Moon of Alabama — The "Most Outlandish" Empire Semantics

The government of the Unites States (GDP US$ 16,768,100 million) declares that the situation in Venezuela (GDP US$ 371,339 million): 

... constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. 

This, the White House says, requires to:... declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.

Way beyond double-speak.
